What happened??
These are the pipes I pulled off my bike Saturday. They're Screamin Eagle
Pros that were on the bike when I bought it new June 2005. Coming back
from northern Pa. I got caught in the rain. The closer I got to Md. the louder
it got until this. I called a couple of dealers and told them the story and got
the standard answer I expected. "Well, you'll have to bring the bike in and
we'll liik at it, but the pipes are discontinued and we don't know what we can
do for you". OK, I like a challenge so let round one begin.

RE: What happened??
I had a similar problem with a Screaming Eagle air cleaner. At 1K I had the stage I kit installed with Python pipes and a remap. At the 5K service I noticed a $48+ charge on the bill for an air cleaner filter. I asked the SM what's up with this? He said that the filter had deteriorated and that they had to install a new one. He went on to say that Harley had trouble with that model(brand?) of filter and had switched back to the K&N which I requested in the first place. Even though it was a known defective unit from Harley, I still had to pay for it. I will say that the dealer has given me very good service with the exception of that--

Wow..those pipes look like they were red hot when you ran thru standing cold water. That will sometimes break em. I've had that happen on a Z28. btw, I have a Dyna with the big bore and pro pipes and I have no discoloring like you have. I'd like to know what you have for mods. Looks to me like it's running extremely lean.
